Last July 2012, together with my batch in college, we went to Cambodia and did a ministry there. We shared our faith and belief about Jesus Christ and volunteered in one of the orphanages there. We call our group, Klement Backpacking and Ministry. Klement is our batch name. It means "gentle" or "caring".

As part of backpacking and ministry, we went to Cambodia to volunteer for the orphans there. After we visited the glorious temples of Angkor, we went to an orphanage that was founded by Seventh-day Adventist from Australia, Tim and Wendy Maddocks. The orphanage's name is Wat Preah Yesu. We stayed there for the weekend and experienced the place.

We attended their vespers meeting and mingled with the kids on a Friday night and on Saturday afternoon, we sang songs for the kids and had an Adventist Youth program. After which we distributed slippers for the orphans, because most of them don't have slippers. We also included some food in our distribution.

We handled the Sabbath services in the town church. From Sabbath School program to the Divine Worship. We had a mini-concert during the Sabbath school program and we led the Lesson review and the all the parts of the divine worship.

Talking about Jesus and sharing your faith is a wonderful experience. The distribution of slippers to the orphans and even by just mingling with them brought each of us joy, peace, and happiness because of serving and helping others.
